    The “Father of NIL,” Grant House returned to Social kick to chat about the landmark House v. NCAA case and how Grant completely changed the landscape of college sports. But he’s not stopping there. Grant is now focused on educating athletes, speaking at universities across the country, and developing his own performance consulting business.

    We discuss the evolving world of NIL, exploring what brands are actually looking for from Olympic athletes and how swimmers can better monetize their careers. Grant shares his experience attending Athlete Con in Las Vegas and the surprising truth about how many brands and athletes still don’t fully understand the NIL landscape.

    But it’s not all business—we also tackle some hot topics! Grant gives his unfiltered take on the highly controversial Enhanced Games, discussing why athletes deserve fair compensation and why the swimming community needs to stop shutting down new opportunities. We also debate the ethics of sports betting, propose a new “World Record Lottery” system to pay swimmers millions, and discuss the optimal temperature for a sauna recovery session.

  • Reflecting Pool Surface Failing – What Could Make This Happen? | Swimming Pool Steve

    In the latest development with the memorial reflecting pool videos are surfacing showing what appears to be large sections of the interior surface peeling away. This large sheet delamination is being cited as potentially caused by the addition of the hydrogen peroxide to the water. While this is possible, in my experience with polymer and elastomeric interior surfaces for aquatic structures this looks much more like a delamination due to adhesion failure between the interior surface and the substrate. Both improper surface preparation but also the presence of negative hydrostatic pressure could both cause a failure that looks like what we are seeing now. If this is the case time will tell as a failure like that would be likely to continue to spread as water accesses the underside of the surface lining the reflecting pool.
